Thoughts of the Week
Have you ever known that the world has moved from one month to the next but you don’t register it properly?
Food, Music and Writing
As you know if you’ve read much of my work that I love watching cooking programmes and on a Saturday morning it’s one of my greatest joys to watch James Martin.
Thoughts of the week 32
I don’t really know what to say! Actually I feel a bit speechless (writerless) I guess you’d say. After updating the website my readership has increased dramatically!
Forgive and forget?
When people talk about forgiving and forgetting, they are assuming that everyone will forgive and forget. But what they don’t realise is that sometimes doing the two is NOT a good or sensible thing to do.
16 years already?
Can you believe this? 16 years ago today, Kevin and I said “I do” to each other. It was the best day of my life up until that point.

News in a nutshell 25
So now I have reached the grand old age of 51. As a child I never dreamed I would find myself living in a beautiful area of Scotland, married to a Scottish man and now viewing myself as a Scot, too.
Pick of the week 22
I know that here in Scotland children have returned to the nursery/creche/school term but am also aware they haven’t elsewhere and I feel compelled to talk about it a little bit today.
Thoughts of the week 28
As you have seen, I have thinking about decisions we make quite a bit. And the fact I am going to be 51 on Monday - how did I get so old?
